Classical and Quantum Physical World Views of Nature
and their Role in Information Technology
Árpád
István Csurgay MHAS, Professor Emeritus
Engineers are
transforming nature into “nature-inspired
human-centered technologies”, i.e. into artificial
machines and services, which originally did not exist in nature, but they
are useful for the Family of Man.
The invented machines and services have to obey
the adequate “Laws of Nature”, otherwise the instruments were not “realizable”.
During the 20th
Century the Physical World View, i.e. the
Generally valid Mathematical-Physical
Laws of Nature evolved from a (i) Classical
World View at the end of the 19th Century, to a (ii) Quantum Mechanical World View by mid 20th Century, and finally to a
(iii) Quantum Field Theoretic (QFT) World
View at the beginning of the 21st Century. p>
The Wolrd Views are sometimes referred as “Pictures” or “Mindsets”. The Quantum
Mechanical World View is sometimes referred as “Quantum Mindset” and the
Classical Physical World View as “Classical” or “Pre-quantum Mindset”.
In this course we
shall review and compare the (i) Classical, (ii) Quantum Mechanical and (iii)
Quantum Field-Theoretical World Views presenting all of them together with
illustrating applications in Information
Technology (Communication, Metrology and Computing).
We shall see
that some of the newly emerging Quantum
Terchnologies are inconcievable to a pre-quantum
mindset.
